The world of Ai and its futuristic applications is no longer a distant land but rapidly becoming part of our reality. AI developers are finding applications in many human endeavors including writing and content creation. This market is expanding rapidly and has spawned a diverse array of product offerings. This ranges from AI writing assistants that correct sentence structure to full AI driven article writers. These tools can be used help freelance writers looking to gain an edge as well as business owners looking to produce large amount of content at a fraction of the cost. Most tools currently on the market predominantly use the GPT-3 engine. This was developed by OpenAi and available via a waitlist. This ai has run through billions of words of content and learned from this data how to predict the next word in a sentence. With this power it can continuously find the next word and write up to a complete book. More advanced versions such as ArticleForge have started analyzing larger topic structures. Within the quality check space, offerings include a plagiarism checker and SEO tools, which helps users align their content with Google's ranking logic. The AI writing market can be split into three main offerings, consisting of AI writing assistants, Ai content generators and Ai writers. Each of these offers a different degree of automation within the writing process. Here is an overview of these tools and some of the current market players. 1 - AI Writing assistants AI writing assistants help users during the writing process. This includes offering suggestions to complete sentences, change keywords to avoid repetition, change sentence structure or capitalize on SEO trends.

This program is particularly useful for writers as the Ai refines its understanding of your writing over time, and so is able to create more content for you. The program costs 24$/month, with a free 7 days trial. Hyperwrite Hyperwrite is similar to Wordblot but offers a plugin to integrate it to the browser. And so Hyperwrite can assist you with any writing activity on the internet. The Hyperwrite Google chrome extension is available for free. Which might be concerning with regards to its monetization and privacy. Bertha Ai Like the other two options, Bertha help you as you write content.

Paths Forward As we see from the abundance of offerings discussed above this market is growing rapidly. Two recent trends have emerged that are likely to drive broader adoption of these technologies over the next 24 months: Popularization of the technology via ChatGPT. While there are commercial applications of this implementation, its most important contribution will be "creating buzz" within the business community that will help drive adoption of more advanced platforms. The idea of using AI to generate content is no longer considered weird or edgy...Broad release of GTP-4 in mid 2023. Early reports suggest this is another significant boost in the "humanization" of AI capabilities, unlocking a broader set of potential applications in the content space. These trends have consequences beyond the writing and publishing. A high functioning AI engine takes the cost of summarizing data and reducing it to narrative format to near zero. Creating cheap articles is just the beginning. Looking back, the act of creating books replaces the dynamic experience of communicating with a human expert (the tribal story teller) to get answers. One book written by the right person could replace thousands of hours of personalized advice and instructions. Or recall facts without being present. Imagine a platform where most content could be generated dynamically, tailored to the preferences of an individual audience and the context of a single conversation. Fiction could be composed in real time, customized to an audience. Your child likes purple unicorns and magic goats? Sure, we can put them in the story. Wants to be an astronaut? Sure, we can version our story to send the goats into space. Likes classic police stories? We can handle that as well, turn the magic goal into a hardboiled 1930's detective. Perhaps you could even customized to preferences that the audience isn't even aware they possess... for example, identifying which parts of a story disengage the audience and minimizing or eliminating them from text. Similar to how tribal story tellers of our distant past tweaked their own tales to optimize the experience for a given audience. Or a court advisor carefully selected proposals which were most relevant to a ruler's tastes and predicted the most common questions before they were ever asked. All of this would occur in real time and in reaction to that specific conversation. While the early stages of AI will be about automation, the end game will unlock fundamental changes in how we interact with information and systems.
